As we collaborate with suppliers and customers, we have a unique opportunity to build shared value while setting the table for a more sustainable future.

In FY24, Sysco:

• Launched our One Planet One Table assortment of 3.5K+ items in Sysco Shop, our e-commerce platform, with growth outpacing that of items outside that assortment.
• Exceeded our 2025 coffee commitment by sourcing 36.7% of Sysco Brand whole bean and ground coffee from certified sources and 45.8% from verified responsible sourcing programs.
• Continued our participation in the Southern Plains Grassland Program, in which we’ve partnered with other members to award a total of $7.4M in grants in FY2024 to support sustainable best practices for beef production. • Surpassed $1B in spending with certified diverse Tier 1 suppliers.^[1]
• Established packaging guidelines for our suppliers and saved nearly 83K total pounds of corrugate by transitioning Sysco Brand exterior packaging from traditional white to kraft corrugate cases. Additionally, avoided ~2.3M pounds of plastic by shifting away from single-use bottles at Gilchrist & Soames, a division of the Sysco company Guest Worldwide.

^{[1] Tier 1 spend represents the total procurement dollars that Sysco spends directly with a certified diverse supplier.}
